For anyone doubting the sturm pistols ineffectiveness, just take it out to a practice round and shoot all 5 rounds into a stuart at any angle, and you’ll see that 99% of the time, nothing interesting happens. I think a 20mm anti tank rifle might actually be better, which is quite sad

Interestingly enough, M5 is often impossible to pen from sides, BUT sturmpistole somehow gets through its frontal armour without many issues.
For the time being I use sturmpistole only rarely, and when I do, it is very risky because trying to knock out tank (only M5 or M8 of course… trying to kill anything heavier is suicide and waste of time) through frontal armour is possible only with very small time window and load of luck.

Weapon itself is very inconsistent and in dire need of fixing.

Well, i think it was good until yesterday, im pretty sure they altered all the stats from antitanks and tanks, first, normally M4A2 didn´t penetrated to the PZ III M, only after some shots it could kill you, now he one kills, for a side it sounds real ,but im still missing for check this for PZ 4-J.
Until yesterday PIAT was good, and obviously better than sturmpistole , but he couldn´t kill pz III M, so easily, now it makes one kills shots, and is not a joke, sturmpistole, can´t penn M4A2 or jumbo, i obviusly know their weak points, but well it sounds funny, but they completely buffed U.S , and nerfed Germany, that´s what i realized,

PIAT’s reload is about twice as fast.

Somehow its you War Thunder players that came to this Game who are just used to be cucked by devs I suppose.

Besides in over 200 matches I maybe saw someone use the Sturmpistole on 5 occassions and 3 of these they said in Chat “what utter garbage is this shit”. It can barely penetrate a Stuart’s rear part (back) from 2m away. Its garbage. Absolute utter garbage.

I say the tracks not the armor the sturmpistole is an under powered deatpack so works better if you hit the underside of the tank but obviously it’s easier not to read what one writes

The sturmpistol isn’t useless, just use-impaired. It can penetrate side armor on the M4A and the stuart, it just has a very small damage radius once it penetrates, so if you don’t aim carefully it doesn’t do much. If you know where to aim so that the shot hits dead center on the ammo, it can oneshot light tanks decently well. Its also able to knock out treads just fine, which makes landing a grenade for the kill far easier. Basically, it can work as long as you land it right on the component you need to take out. Its a situational tool, and likely grossly underpowered compared to the piat, but it is worth keeping in mind and using, when the situation calls for it.

Personally I’d love for the sturmpistol to get the option of bringing an he and smoke round along to help it be the weaker but more generalized option compared to the PIAT. The point of the Sturmpistol was that it was a cheap, lightweight, and flexible tool for a soldier to get a bit more out of grenades then they could do by just throwing them, and I’d love to see the gameplay reflect that.

wtf, you’ve shot a bearing and the tank has exploded, you haven’t even hit the base frame, it doesn’t make any sense how it works, this game doesn’t stop surprising me xd

Actually the explosion with the bearing has exploded the ammunition, without having to penetrate the armor, this is not how it should work.

You were only half right, if you can disable a Jumbo with the Sturmpistole, but not break through the armor.

And another time wen i said break the armor? i said hit the tracks(like in the video) the tracks dont have armor so hitting them with the sturmpistole let you disable him or one shoot him, ist not difficult to understand the sturmpistole is an under powered deatpack so use here like the deatpack but with more precison

Is it reliable? No
Is it easy to use? No
Does it take skill to use? Yes

Its competitor, the PIAT, has the opposite answers to the above.

There’s using “skill” in an argument where people are trying to objectively compare something with the other. And then there’s arguing for the sake of arguing, and putting it off as “just” a skill issue, when the weapon itself statistically underperforms to its competitor.
